Column Solves Vexing Legal Writing Issues

Through this column, the legal writing faculty at Marquette
University Law School and other contributors will help solve your vexing
legal writing questions with practical guidance. Topics may range from
broader issues, such as dispelling grammar myths and the value of
revision, to more narrow topics, such as correctly using commas and
other vital punctuation and employing precise words to make your point
explicit and powerful. We may even tackle how to cite with
authority.

Although the MU writing faculty will contribute regularly, the
Wisconsin Lawyer welcomes columns submitted from other legal
writing aficionados. The column will appear at least quarterly. Upcoming
topics include using updated language, writing concisely, and taking
time for revision.
